  • I use Taco HTML Edit for editing my HTML. http://tacosw.com/main.php
  • I agree. That is the one thing that bothers me with OS X and Spotlight. Not all the metadata is always there in the file. I can understand why Apple uses an index of all your files with Spotlight because it makes searching faster. But it can be …
  • Ok, I have an idea, but it may take awhile. First export all the images from your current library into a folder somewhere. Now create a new library and import all the pictures back in. Create some new albums or smart albums and see what happens. If …
  • Yeah, it's pretty useful. I have created an automator workflow to do this automatically for me and then attached it as a folder action.
  • I use Spotlight comments all the time. I tag any PDFs or other documents I download from the Internet with the text "Status: Not Read". Then I move them to the appropriate folders on my system. I also created a smart folder that will search for all …
  • I don't think the RAW images are causing trouble, but there is a quick way to tell. Remove them from your iPhoto library and then try to sync it with your iPod.
  • Quote: Originally posted by Xool Actually, we may see this new Meta Browser as part of the finder. Combines our existing column view with spotlight searching. I like it! I hope this is true. I have been waiting for the Finder to have…
  • Does anyone know what is NOT going to be included in Vista that MS said was originally supposed to ship with Longhorn? I know WinFS isn't, but what about Indigo?
  • I have been playing with the application MoRU and I will say that it does implement smart folders better. It allows you to use AND or OR expressions very easily. http://www.windstormsoftware.com/wssw/moru/index.html It is a nice application, b…
  • Ok, I modified my smart folder and uploaded the new version to my .Mac account. http://homepage.mac.com/mpmoriarty/p...avedSearch.zip I added a date value at the beginning to tell it to grab files that were modified in the last 30 days. You ca…
  • Quote: Originally posted by European guy Well...no ! I mean, if you take notice to all the addittions to AAC, you'll see that the developing codecs aim at further loss and perceptual filtering. These are bad things ! They are meant to incre…
  • You want a smart folder that ONLY shows .doc and .pdf files? Yes, that is the annoying part of smart folders. Every + just creates an "AND" in the actual query. Very annoying of Apple to do things this way. At least in iTunes you have the option …
  • There is one feature in Vista that I think Apple should copy... In Vista while saving a file, the save dialog provides fields to enter in meta data. This is simply brilliant because the best time to add meta data to a file is when it is initially…
  • Yeah, Sherlock still comes with OS X Tiger. That's why I said "unofficially" killed it. They still offer it, but have pushed developers to go with Dashboard. I used Sherlock a lot before Tiger. But Apple is more focused on Dashboard now. You can …
  • Yeah sorry, but Apple has kinda "unoffically" killed Sherlock. But even though you are on Panther, you might still be able to access Dashboard widgets via Safari. Download a widget. It will download as a folder. Go inside that folder and open the…
  • Ok first do two things for me... 1) Navigate to Macintosh HD (or whatever you boot drive is called)/Library/Spotlight and see if the file "Microsoft Office.mdimporter" is present. This is what Spotlight uses to index MS office files on your compu…
  • Remember, it won't be released in June, just demoed. It will probably be released either at the end of this year or early next year. If I was Steve Jobs, I would release it about a month after Vista was release to steal its marketing thunder and …
  • This is funny... http://joyoftech.com/joyoftech/index.html
  • Couldn't Apple start using HE-ACC to encode their audio files. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HE-AAC It looks as though you can get higher quality audio from a lower bitrate than traditional AAC.
